Seventy-five percent of the medium-sized companies doing business in

Brooklyn provide their CEO's with desktop computers. Moreover, 30% of
these companies provide a laptop given they have provided a desktop. What
is the probability that a CEO gets a desktop and a laptop?

Please help me out!

Answer:9/40

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply probability of getting desktop by probability of getting laptop. 3/4 (desktop)* 3/10 (laptop)=9/40(desktop &laptop) . That fraction can't be reduced and is equal to .225 or 22.5%
